It is never safe to have sex unless you use the right protection.
Some people believe that it is safe to have sex just before your period because there is less chance of you having a live egg in your uterus as it dies just before your period but this may not be the case. Your period could be late and you do not know at what point this egg becomes inactive. This is not worth the risk and appropriate protection should always be used. This is not a safe method of having sex.
Another reason for this being unsafe is that it's not just unwanted pregnancy that you have to look out for when having sex, sexually transmitted diseases are always a risk with unprotected sex and these cannot be prevented by any method other than using a condom. You should always take precautions for both parts and use a condom.
If you feel that you would like something else as a backup such as the pill or an implant, go and see your doctor. They are always very open and honest and will not judge no matter what your age or who you are having sex with. It is their job to help sort out any of your medical issues in confidence and you can trust them.
If you have used this method before as 'safe sex' you might want to go and get yourself tested for any sexually transmitted diseases. There are so many sexually transmitted diseases and not all of them have symptoms, so you may not know when you have got one. These will be passed from partner to partner and some can cause infertility.
